Today we honour & celebrate Scotland’s national

Today we honour & celebrate Scotland’s national poet, Robbie Burns. Whether you choose to spend Burns Night sharing stories and poetry with friends or feasting on haggis, one thing not to be missed is raising a dram of your favourite single malt scotch whisky! There is an incredible selection of scotch whiskies to choose from and we have some great suggestions for you to enjoy from a variety of regions with a range of styles. Whether you prefer soft and fruity, full bodied and peaty or something in between, there is a whisky for you.

The Lowlands region is known for their softer style of flavourful whiskies and the Lindores Single Malt 1494 from Lindores Abbey Distillery is exactly that. Elegant with flavours of orchard fruit, caramel, vanilla and touch of spice, it is smooth and delicate and incredibly friendly on the palate.

If you enjoy the fruity, spicy flavours in a whisky, Speyside is another favourable region for that. The Glenfarclas 15 Year Old Single Malt offers rich flavours of sherried fruit, sweet spice and malty notes. A well balanced medium bodied whisky.

Looking for something with some peaty smoky notes? Islay is the perfect region for that. The Port Askaig 8 Year Old Single Malt is a beautiful introduction to the character of this region. With vibrant notes of citrus and sea spray with softy peaty/smoky notes and touch of sweetness. Clean yet savoury.

Now if you really want to take your palate to the next level with a combination of fruity, spicy, smoky with an extra kick, than the Peat’s Beast Single Malt Batch Strength PX Finish is it. This whisky offers peat smoke, salty and peppery notes combined with sweet dried fruit flavours and sweet spice. Full, rich and delicious.

Slàinte!
